You can set up your order form so that the discount is a separate 
item. I don't know if you can do it as a multiple of the total order, 
or not.

I am no expert--but I have one order price for Principled Profit: 
Marketing That Puts People First at 
http://www.frugalmarketing.com/shop.html at $17.50, and a different 
order page for signers of the Business Ethics Pledge, who get it at 
$9.95--but they have to sign the pledge in order to see that price. 
Both are paypal-enabled and both communicate with my Mal's shopping 
cart.
